  • Yield: 2 Pints 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups juice prepared from the peach peels & pits* (see below)
  • 1 box of powdered pectin or equivalent
  • 3 cups sugar

Instructions

  1. To prepare the juice, place your peels and pits in a stock pot and just barely cover with water. Simmer for 30 minutes and then allow to steep overnight.
  2. Strain the juice from the pot in the morning and discard (compost) the scraps.
  3. In a large pot, whisk together the peach juice and pectin and bring to a full, rolling boil.
  4. Add the sugar all at once.
  5. Return to a full, rolling boil and boil until it sheets off of the spoon. This took about 3 minutes for mine.
  6. Ladle into glass jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean and top with lids and rings.
  7. Process in a water bath for 5 minutes.
